Breathe Bio Medical ’s Technology:
Breathe Bio Medical ’s technology has sensitivity to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath down to the parts per trillion. The platform is comprised of three (3) proprietary devices, a Breath Sampler to collect breath, a Spectrometer to process breath samples and a machine learning algorithm that analyzes raw spectral data from the Spectrometer to identify the presence of disease. The Breath Sampler is a portable tabletop device used to collect alveolar samples from subjects quickly and efficiently and concentrate onto a thermal desorption tube, which can then be transported to a central lab for analysis. The Spectrometer is a highly sensitive device into which a breath sample-filled sorbent tube is loaded. The Spectrometer uses three advanced infrared lasers to probe the VOCs’ optical absorption properties.
Responsibilities:

• Responsible for one or more R&D project in optics, linked with the candidate’s strength and scientific interests

• Assists in performing theoretical calculations to improve Breathe Bio Medical ’s optical design

• Performs data analysis and/or numerical calculations to develop or improve optical design

• Assists the Physics Team in manufacturing new spectrometers

• Assists the Physics Team in troubleshooting and improving prototypes

• Actively participates in Physics Team meetings

Qualifications:

• Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Physics or Engineering Physics (preference 3rd year or above)

• Excellent experimental skills

• Demonstrated analytical and problem solving skills

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Tech savvy – willingness to learn relevant tools/software as needed

• Demonstrate integrity, values, principles, and work ethic

• Effective organization and time management skills with the ability to work under pressure

• Advance knowledge in optics is an asset
